Some really well done 3d videos. Check them out!

A watch commercial:

A game-style cinematic:

Round 6 from Snowball Studios on Vimeo.

I'll post more as soon as I find some :)

God! Be original already.

Sooo many people are obsessed at copying Apple. Although i don't support it, I can see why a cheap knock off would do it. They are small-time, lack the funds, etc. But HP??? Gimme a break!

A clever Samsung commercial for their new 3d tv's in the UK.

Check out the Darth Vader head balloon. So cool.

We'll miss you Norm.

I'm incredibly sadden to write that a couple days ago, my teacher and friend Norm Schureman passed away in a tragic shooting.

During my time at Art Center I had him as a teacher, and later helped him as a teacher assistant. He was always encouraging. He would often let you know you did a good job with a pat in the back and an "adda boy!" To him we the students were an extension of his family. He wore no mask. When you took his class you really got a chance to see who he was, something I've experienced in less than a handful of instructors.

I had alot of respect for him, and will carry him in memories and in my heart.

Thanks Norm.
